Reception

[edit]

Manga

[edit]

By January 2023, the Skip and Loafer manga had over 1 million copies in circulation.[42] By March 2024, it had over 2.3 million copies in circulation.[43]

Alongside Ranking of Kings, Skip and Loafer ranked seventh on Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! list of best manga of 2020 for male readers;[44] it ranked eighth on the 2024 edition.[45] The series ranked 46th on the 2021 "Book of the Year" list by Da Vinci magazine;[46] it ranked ninth on the 2023 list.[47] In 2020, the series was nominated for the 13th Manga Taishō and placed third with 58 points.[48][49] It was nominated for the 44th Kodansha Manga Award in the general category in 2020;[50] it was nominated for the 46th edition in the same category in 2022;[51] it won the 47th edition in the same category in 2023.[52][53] The manga was one of the Jury Recommended Works at the 23rd Japan Media Arts Festival in 2020.[54] It was one of the Jury Recommended Works for the French 17th ACBD's Prix Asie de la Critique 2023.[55]

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave the first two volumes an A−. Silverman wrote: "Skip and Loafer may not have fabulous art and it may not have an innovative story. But it does have a firm grasp of its storytelling and characters and a not inconsiderable sense of humor. It's light without being frothy and real without being a drag, and if you're looking for a story that verges on the humorous slice-of-life genre, I can't recommend this enough. Treats characters like individual people, balances humor and seriousness well".[56]

Anime

[edit]

The anime adaptation won the Golden Dragon Award for Overseas Animation at the 20th China Animation & Comic Competition in 2023.[57] It was also nominated in the Best Romance and Best Slice of Life categories at the 8th Crunchyroll Anime Awards in 2024.[58]

The anime series was received positively. Alex Henderson of Anime Feminist reviewed the first episode, calling it "cute as a button", with naturalistic animation and well-done backdrops, with a female protagonist who is "endearing", said there is still room for the show to "wobble", and argued that the episode was "thoroughly charming".[59]

Note

[edit]
  1. ^ Engrish rendition of the original Japanese title. As for the Japanese title, Takamatsu explains that Sukippu (スキップ) refers to the characters' ambitiousness while loafers (ローファー, Rōfā) are worn with school uniforms,[3] thus this title when translated correctly becomes either Skips and Loafers or Skippers and Loafers.
